Functional: Maned wolfs give birth to live young. These adaptations help the maned wolf to survive in their habitat. Eating a fruit called the lobeira fruit helps protect the maned wolf from the Giant Kidney Worm‚ a parasite that infests fish and crustaceans that the maned wolf eats. Long ears help the maned wolf to hear small animals in the grass and long legs help it to pounce on animals or to dig out small rodents. Why they are endangered: Humans are maned wolfs biggest enemies; they are hunted

The Lobster is a delicacy in many cultures‚ and it is also a pretty strange looking creature. It’s got some strange behavior‚ too‚ so we’re here to fill you in. Enjoy reading the first half of the list. Number Fifteen: They Never Stop Growing. This is the theory‚ anyway.

and the male clown fish guards the eggs until they hatch just over a week later. Clown fish are omnivorous animals meaning that they eat both plants and animals. Clown fish eat a wide range of food such as algae‚ plankton‚ molluscs and small crustaceans. Due to their small size‚ clown fish are preyed upon by a number of predators but can be difficult to catch are they often retreat into the safety of the sea anemone. Large species of fish‚ sharks and eels are the main predators of the clown

oxygen transport molecule. Unlike the hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates‚ hemocyanins are not bound to blood cells but are instead suspended directly in the hemolymph. Species using hemocyanin for oxygen transportation are commonly crustaceans living in cold environments with low oxygen pressure. Under these circumstances hemoglobin oxygen transportation is less efficient than hemocyanin oxygen transportation. Hemocyanins are one-fourth as efficient as hemoglobin at transporting oxygen

Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharide in nature‚ being only second after cellulose. It can be found in animals (exoskeletons of crustacean and insects) as well as in fungi‚ mushrooms and yeasts. Chitin can be described as a biopolymer composed of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; a chemical structure very close to cellulose except that the hydroxyl group in C of cellulose is replaced by an acetamido group in chitin. One can associate this chemical similarity between cellulose and chitin as serving

Hawksbill turtles like this because the reefs have sponges they like to feed on. Hawksbills are omnivorous and will also eat mollusks‚ marine algae‚ crustaceans‚ sea urchins‚ fish‚ and jellyfish. Their hard shells protect them from many predators‚ but they still fall prey to large fish‚ sharks‚ crocodiles‚ octopuses‚ and humans. Like other sea turtles‚ hawksbills make unbelievable migrations in order to

captivity‚ Neon Tetras are one of the most valuable species in the ornamental fish trade. They are known for their hardiness as well as flamboyant coloring (Champan et. Al 1998). The prey in question is the Daphnia‚ a large group of small planktonic crustaceans which can also exist in almost any freshwater body (Ebert 2005). The predatory nature of the Tetra will be put into question in two scenarios. One where the Tetra can easily find its prey in a two-species interaction with the Daphnia. And another
